Best Apple Watch apps for padel in 2026: why we recommend Countoo

Why we recommend Countoo

• Nine sports in one app. Padel, tennis, pickleball, squash, badminton, ping pong, basketball, football and indoor football, all with one history. You don’t need a separate app for each sport.
• A low yearly price. Countoo costs €1.99 a month or €16.99 a year on the Dutch App Store. The yearly plans listed for three other apps cost more: Padel Watch €29.99 to €49.99 (for advanced stats), Padel40 €34.99 and PadelTick €39.99. These plans don’t all unlock the same things. Some apps can cost you less: scoring in Padel Watch is free, and Padel Score Counter is a one-off €3.99. Padel Pointer’s listing gives prices from €5.99 to €59.99 without clear periods, so we left it out of this comparison.
• Simple on the watch. Choose padel, then singles or doubles, and who serves first. After each point, tap the side that won it. Countoo counts the points, games and sets, with a tiebreak at 6-6.
• The useful extras. You get undo and a serving marker. Each match is recorded as a workout through Apple Health, and your wins, losses and most-played sport show on your iPhone. Other apps list some of these too.

Check these before you download:

• Countoo is free to download, but scoring on the watch needs a subscription after the free trial.
• It counts padel with advantage only. There is no golden point, star point, match tiebreak or Americano.
• It needs watchOS 10.6 and iOS 17 or later. The app is in English.

The six apps at a glance

New to these terms? Read padel scoring rules explained. Silver point is not one of the three options in the FIP rules.

For the other five apps, we only used what their App Store listings say, checked on 31 October 2026 on the Dutch App Store. Prices are in euros, differ per country and can change. We did not test those apps on court. Many more padel apps exist. We chose five that were updated in 2026 and that mention their scoring options in the listing or update notes. We left out star ratings because most of these apps have only a handful.

Which one should you pick?

Pick Countoo if you play padel with advantage and any of these sound like you:

• You also play other sports and want them all in one app.
• You want one history of your wins and losses.
• You want a low yearly subscription price.

If your matches use another format, the next section shows where to look.

When another app fits better

• You want to score for free: Padel Watch. Its listing says keeping score on the watch and iPhone is free.
• You don’t want a subscription: Padel Score Counter. You pay once and the listing shows no in-app purchases.
• Your matches use golden point or star point: Padel Watch, Padel Score Counter, Padel Pointer or Padel40.
• You need a 10-point match tiebreak: Padel Pointer lists it, and Padel40 lists a super tiebreak.
• You play Americano: Padel Pointer or Padel40. Padel40 also lists Mexicano.
• You have an older Apple Watch: Padel40 lists watchOS 8.0 and Padel Watch lists watchOS 8.5.
